1296. Chapter 1296 Banning
Qi Yu has already passed the age of thirty, Shen Mengxi is not a young girl, and there are no other concubines in the palace. Not to mention that the courtiers will be nervous about the candidate for the crown prince, the most nervous people should be the people of the Qi family.
Although Qi Yu's surname is Qi, he is actually a descendant of the Huangfu family. Those surnamed Qi in Beijing City are not actually the real royal family, they can only be regarded as Qi Yu's mother clan. However, obviously these Qi people People don't think so. They think that the country of China should belong to the Qi family. If Qi Yu has no heirs, then the next emperor must still come from the Qi family, and he cannot give an adopted son of unknown origin at all.
However, the objections of these people did not seem to be noticed by Shen Mengxi. No matter how fierce the commotion outside was, Shen Mengxi was already at ease and relaxed, without being disturbed at all.
"So what if you object?" Shen Mengxi took another strawberry and fed it to Mingxi, with a slight smile on her lips. "They still want to encourage the emperor to destroy me, so what will happen?"
It is true that half of the people in the Chinese court respected Shen Mengxi, but there was another half. Among them, the people who wanted Shen Mengxi to be deposed the most were the people of the Qi family.
"Is the current Qi family the same as Qi Yanling's natal family?" Ye Zhen asked doubtfully.
Shen Mengxi said lightly, "That's not true. The serious natal families are all in the Kingdom of Jin. The ones here in the Kingdom of Hua are far apart. It's just that the relatives from far away have benefited. They are not even members of the clan, and they dare to babble. If I hadn't been pregnant and felt at ease now, otherwise... I would have chopped them into pieces."
"..." It was the first time Ye Zhen saw Shen Mengxi showing her tough side. She wondered if the Shen Mengxi in front of her had had her soul replaced. Could it be that Shen Mengxi also had two personalities?
"Oh, I want to be gentle, gentle!" Shen Mengxi patted her chest, "so as not to scare the child."
Ye Zhen burst out laughing, "I really want to know how you followed the emperor to conquer various tribes."
"We must pay equal attention to kindness and power. We must be dignified but also tolerant and friendly. You will understand this when you lead troops in the future." Shen Mengxi said to Ye Zhen with a smile, "Have you read all the military books I gave you?"
"I'm watching, but I have no experience in leading troops, so I just memorized it by force." Ye Zhen said helplessly.
Shen Mengxi smiled and said, "As long as you can remember it."
"Ah, eat..." Mingxi shouted to Shen Mengxi, he also wanted to eat the red fruit.
Mingyu sat in Ye Zhen's arms, eating strawberry juice all over her face, and giggled as she looked at her brother.
"Foodie!" Ye Zhen scolded with a smile, taking out a silk handkerchief to wipe the mouths of the two children.
"The Emperor has arrived." The palace people sang from outside.
Ye Zhen and Zhaoyang both stood up and saw Qi Yu striding in from outside with a gloomy look on his face.
Seeing his expression, Ye Zhen's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't seen Qi Yu's cruel side for a long time. Could it be that someone outside provoked him today?
Just as she was thinking about it, Ye Zhen saw Huangfu Chen following Qi Yu.
"Your Majesty, are you back so early today?" Shen Mengxi didn't seem to notice the gloomy look on Qi Yu's face, and went up to him with a smile on her face. Before she walked into Qi Yu's side, she smelled the smell of blood, and her stomach... Her body turned around, her face turned pale, she turned around and retched.
Qi Yu, whose face was already ugly, became even more livid now, "Shen Mengxi, what do you mean?"
Does she even dislike him?
Ye Zhen carried Mingxi in her arms to Hong Ling, and went to check Shen Mengxi's pulse. Her heart that almost jumped out of her throat finally calmed down. She smelled the smell of blood on Qi Yu's body, frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better change Bring the clothes again, Sister Mengxi is pregnant now and is particularly sensitive to some fishy smells. She will vomit even if she smells fish, let alone the smell of blood on your body."
Shen Mengxi vomited it out and felt better. She raised her moist eyes and looked at Qi Yu worriedly, "Are you injured?"
Knowing that Shen Mengxi didn't vomit because she disliked him, Qi Yu's expression softened a little, "I'm not injured, you... you rest, I'll go change clothes."
The palace maid had quickly cleaned up the dirty things in the room. Shen Mengxi wanted to change clothes, so Ye Zhen and Huangfu Chen went to the side hall.
"Master, what's wrong with Qi Yu?" Ye Zhen asked Huangfu Chen in a low voice.
Originally Huangfuchen wanted to go to sea with Ye Yiqing, but later he stayed in Beijing City without knowing what Ye Yiqing said to him.
"During the morning court today, someone asked Ah Yu to depose Shen Mengxi and drive you out of China. Another person woke up and killed the person who asked him on the spot, killing seven people in a row..." Huangfu Chen Thinking back to the bloody scene in the main hall this morning, he sighed in his heart, thinking that Qi Yu had improved his mind and nature over the years and would no longer be as violent as before. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't control his cruel side as long as Shen Mengxi was involved. .
Ye Zhen took a breath, Qi Yu actually killed someone in the court?
Huangfuchen said, "Is Mengxi okay?"
"It's okay..." Ye Zhen asked in a low voice, "Qi Yu did this, isn't he afraid that the courtiers are afraid of him?"
"He was originally the only emperor of China, and all the people he killed were members of the Qi family." Many people were disgusted by the people of the Qi family who showed off their power in the court.
Ye Zhen said, "Why did they drive our mother and son out of China?"
She is now just a widow, an orphan and a widowed mother in the eyes of many people. Is she worthy of being feared by so many people?
Huangfu Chen said, "They are afraid that Mingxi will become the crown prince in the future."
"..." Ye Zhen was speechless for a while, she really thought too much, "Sister Mengxi's child hasn't been born yet, do they think that the crown prince must be their child?"
"The Qi family had always wanted Ah Yu to adopt an heir before," Huangfu Chen said.
"It seems that no one dares to oppose Qi Yu anymore." Ye Zhen said. She didn't like too cruel methods, but she had to admit that Qi Yu's method was very direct and cruel, but very effective.
Sure enough, in the next few months, no one dared to have any objections to Qi Yu's decision to give his adopted son a reward. Mingxi became the only prince of Hua Kingdom, with the title Sheng, and Mingxi was a princess, with the title Yuan. It can be seen from this What Qi Yu really likes is Mingxi, and the title Yuan means longevity.
Before she knew it, it was time for Shen Mengxi to give birth.
After such a long period of recuperation, Shen Mengxi's body was much better than before, and she basically no longer suffered from angina. Now Ye Zhen was worried about something unexpected happening to her during the delivery process.
"Doctor Ye, my wife is about to give birth."
Ye Zhen asked people to take Mingxi and Mingyu elsewhere to avoid distracting her here.
